Honestly if you feel like you have to/ want to go this route, hybrids are the best and safest way to go, plus charging issues are not the full ev problem issues.
Their designs are more stable overall. They are not exploding and or burning down peoples houses or catching fire while driving. And with some models, you can replace the battery pack yourself.

I thought the same. But this Popular Science article says hybrid cars are more dangerous.

hybrid batteries are the same and the risks are the same.
These lithium batteries are causing fires from electric scooters, bicycles, skateboards etc.

Hybrids are absolutely the best route, and will likely be the first to be sacrificed as they go full monte to compulsory EV.
The primary problem remains: The batteries.
My parents had a Nissan hybrid for about 4 years. The batteries got so hot it was not pleasant to sit in the rear seat. That translates to shorter life. They traded in on a Camry hybrid. I’m much more impressed with that product, but the jury’s still out.
I’ve been driving a Toyota Rav hybrid off & on for a couple years related to work. Awesome vehicle, but I remain dubious on the batteries...

Designs are more stable compared to total crappola of time when Tesla paid back its loan — since then they have only gotten more marketing.
Tech is crappola. Total garbage. Useful only in metro centers where they can be driven tens of miles and then charged.
Hybrids are OK, just barely. The enviro waste of the batteries will not come out sooner than the years it has taken to reveal that solar panels and wind turbines are total enviro disasters.
A package of scan designs by the same total creeps that gave us Solyndra and Tx turbines that can’t handle snow.
“hybrids are the best and safest way to go,”
Hybrids have the highest rate of fires, even higher than ICE cars.
“hybrids are the best” and the Toyota Avalon is the best of the best hybrid. Pure EV’s are trouble and we knew that in 1970. Politicians push gimmicks and private industry goes along to get funding.
That right there is comforting.
EVs are so stupid and crappy that the government is trying to mandate them.
